A WINEMAKER’S DREAM - with natural Amphitheatre-like topography, 66-hectare estate EXCEPTIONAL 66-HECTARE FARM IN KNOERHOEK ESTATE The farm is held in a company. The price excludes VAT and Transfer duty is payable. A Rare Country Estate Offering Breathtaking Views, Multiple Residences and Exceptional Potential Nestled against the magnificent Helderberg Mountains. This remarkable 66-hectare farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional Western Cape property that combines natural beauty, country living, agricultural potential and exciting hospitality possibilities. With few neighbours in the distance and no farm workers residing on the farm. With panoramic views across False Bay, a bass fishing dam, two distinctive principal residences, stables and existing hospitality facilities, this property offers privacy, space and the opportunity to create something extraordinary. THE FARM AT A GLANCE AGRICULTURAL POTENTIAL | A WINEMAKERS AND OLIVE GROWERS DREAM The farm presents an exceptional opportunity to establish a premium agricultural enterprise, with outstanding potential for both olive cultivation and viticulture. One of its most distinctive features is its natural amphitheatre-like topography, offering vineyard sites with north-, south-, east- and west-facing slopes. This diversity of aspects creates an exciting opportunity for an aspiring or established winemaker to explore different vineyard exposures, growing conditions and varietal possibilities. A truly inspiring setting for someone with a passion for wine and the vision to develop a distinctive vineyard estate. The property is equally suited to an olive orchard, adding another dimension to its agricultural potential and offering the opportunity to create a beautifully integrated olive and wine estate. WATER SECURITY | AN ESSENTIAL AGRICULTURAL ASSET Water is one of the farm`s significant advantages, supported by two important sources of supply: ·Dam Water Allocation: An annual allocation of 115 cubic litres is supplied from the dam. Water is gravity-fed under pressure, eliminating the need for pumping to service the agricultural areas situated below the dam. ·Registered Borehole: The property also benefits from a registered borehole with an ample water supply, providing an additional source of water to service the farm throughout the year. The combination of dam water infrastructure and borehole supply offers an attractive foundation for future agricultural development, subject to the applicable water-use authorisations and verified supply capacity. A rare opportunity to create something truly special: a Western Cape country estate combining the potential for premium wine production, olive cultivation and an exceptional rural lifestyle. RESIDENTIAL & HOSPITALITY POTENTIAL | ROOM TO CREATE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY The main residence offers exciting scope for further development, with an established wine cellar of approximately 120 m², providing an excellent foundation for a private wine collection, wine-making activities or an exclusive wine-tasting experience. The existing cellar could potentially be extended, subject to architectural assessment. Alternatively, prospective owners and their architects may investigate creating an additional wine cellar beneath the workshop/garage next to the main residence, developing a distinctive wine-focused feature within the estate. The main house also presents significant vertical expansion potential. Subject to structural assessments, engineering confirmation and the necessary planning approvals, the existing structure is understood to have the capacity to accommodate two additional storeys, with an indicated additional load-bearing capacity of approximately 400 tons. This opens up an exciting range of possibilities, including: ·Expanding the existing residence to create a more substantial country estate. ·Developing an exclusive restaurant or dining destination, complementing the property`s agricultural and wine-making potential. ·Creating an impressive rooftop garden or entertainment terrace, taking advantage of the surrounding landscape and setting. These possibilities give a prospective owner the freedom to pursue a vision that goes beyond a traditional farm residence, potentially transforming the property into a distinctive lifestyle, wine and hospitality destination. The combination of existing infrastructure and further development opportunities makes this an especially compelling proposition for an owner with vision and an appreciation of the Western Cape`s potential. THE MAIN HOUSE | COUNTRY LIVING WITH EXCEPTIONAL POTENTIAL The main bedroom and entertainment area enjoy panoramic mountain and False Bay views, with springbok roaming across the property. The house offers a private residential setting with a swimming pool and generous accommodation.
